New Music: 2Mex - Hang On Alex LP

Salute to the fam 2Mex for steadily putting out quality music through 2 plus decades. This brotha is one of the first artists I can remember seeing when I started attending shows. It was at either Elements or Unity around 97 or 98.

From there on I followed his career as a solo artist and with his crew, Visionaries. I have so many recordings of them from my days of being everywhere with a camcorder. By the way, peep the YouTube channel, and please subscribe if you have not already!

I am pleased to have gotten to know 2Mex over these years, as well as have him perform at multiple shows of mine, most recently our 13 year anniversary two years ago.

Alex is his real name, and by far is one of the most genuine people you will ever meet. 2Mex has dealt with major health issues in recent years, and I’m sure his music is just the therapy he needs to stay positive and motivated.

Please check out the new release, Hang On Alex. It’s one hell of an album, featuring Ozomatli, Will.i.am, Ceschi Ramos, Stacey Dee, Shapeshifters, Barfly, and The Visionaries.

2Mex executive produced the album himself and the artwork was done by AWOL One. The Will.I.am assisted “Los Angeles Underground” is my favorite track, and one of the best odes to where we come from that I have ever heard.

Stream the Hang On Alex above and support 2Mex with a purchase. You can also find it l on all DSPs!

About this album

"Thort’s latest addition to the indie rap canon with Smokey131 is all you would expect from Australia’s weirdest wordsmith and Germany’s throwback master producer. Following Weightlifters, which was and probably still is my favorite Thorts album, Together Alone finds the duo with some big shoes to fill and I think it can safely be said they’ve managed to duplicate the magic that made Weightlifters so special.

Smokey’s beatmaking has, to me, has always shown an abiding love and respect for that classic pre-turn of the century era sound. It utilizes the dustiest of jazzy samples, looping them in such a way as to emphasize their percussiveness over melody. Think Muggs or Ant before he Turned That Snare Down (as opposed to other jazzy sample choppers from that era). The result are these gloomy, eerie offerings that are so effective with Thorts sense of off color humor and willingness to address difficult subjects and ideas.

I’ve heard a few other rappers songs with Smokey, and I truly believe Thorts is the one most suited for these soundscapes out of all of them. I expect much of that comes from that fact that these two undeniable veterans came up steeped in that sonic quality of the mid to late 90s, so when it comes to the proper treatment of some throwback jams it just comes naturally.

I dunno. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what works so well when these two hit the studio. But as I said above, if you’re looking for something dark, deep, moving, gritty, and above all nostalgic look no further than Together Alone (but do yourself a favor and cop Weightlifters also because Thorts131 shit is as close as I’ve ever found to the rap that got me into rap a few decades back.)

Oh and big ups to CalQTeK, Staplemouth (these guys should do a full length together),Parkwaechter Harlekin, heirMAX and the peerless Kady Starling for the guest vocalizing, and Swab for some razor sharp cuts. Every guest feature elevates the song and meshes well with the mood, something that is not always possible working with quirky personalities like those behind Thorts131."

Ceschi Ramos Probably Thorts greatest work to date. Really dope beats & features. Coco & Morning Would are standouts. The lyrics were very self aware, honest and darkly funny. Love to see him doing his thing better than ever after many years of creating. Favorite track: Coco

Haven't felt any fire in a while

If you love me then please just engulf me in flames

[whywalkwhenyoucanride]

They can lock me up for now, but the seeds were still sown And when I make it out I know that they’ll be fully grown Never gave a shit about a boss or president If we want some real change we need to make it with our friends 

Back when I was 10, sang "Fuck the Police" 20 years later - know exactly what that means They made it a sin to believe in equality Called it criminal to fight in solidarity

To stop me they're gonna have to bury me

[fakefourinc]

In April of 2020 pandemic had fully hit & some kind of overwhelming nostalgia already started to sink in after the initial end-of-world shock. It reminded me of a time in prison when I only wanted to listen to Grunge because it helped me remember being 13 & beautifully reckless. On a drive through the east Los Angeles neighborhoods where I had been staying, I wandered upon some rough mixes of Deadpan Darling & ended up listening to the entire album. Later that day I remember texting Ian from Blue Sky Black Death & saying that it was some kind of sin that we never put this album out. He agreed & decided that he would try to piece together anything he could find on old hard drives in order to resurrect the project. Ian was able to recover, remix and, in some few cases, remake parts of the Deadpan Darling he started composing with Kingston when he was around 19 years old. Certain songs were impossible to salvage so we ended up using original rough mixes. Overall we decided to maintain the integrity of the original recordings & present them to the public as touched up artifacts. Deadpan Darling was written by a 23 - 24 year old version of me, one who had experienced the profound pain of actual heartbreak for the first time. Heartbreak can happen throughout life - but there is no heartbreak quite like the first time. Is it odd that I am nostalgic for heartbreak ? It’s not that I miss the feeling, it’s that I miss feeling so much. We grow older & more accustomed to certain types of pain. Deadpan Darling represents naivety & romance that I will never experience again. Because of that, there are a few moments that make me cringe, but there are also moments that make me feel deeply & allow me to remember the excitement of young love & pain through songs. Not sure what others will take from it - but just hope you all appreciate the final product. 16 years later.
